Ok. I GET IT.

Please let me enjoy my thing. Its like, the only time I've really been on socials in like, 2 weeks and I want to express my enjoyment of something.

I respect that you have an issue with it, but *I* don't want to have to hold it right now.

I mean, I get what you are saying but I have watched a TON of anime including Fairy Tail and Black Clover, and none of these characters resemble them on more than a surface level.

I think you're just going to have to let me enjoy this one, bc i don't see where we can go from here?

So, I am at episode 28 of Frieren and impatiently waiting until January (not going to skip ahead in manga, enjoying the ride!).
My spoiler-free analysis:

Frieren seems like a show about magic, but it is actually a love letter to humanity.

Idk, I see it completely opposite. I feel they took the typical shonen conceits and built up an interesting ensemble of characters and personalities.

That somehow seems too long away!

The magic first class trials are so damn good. I think I love the last one the most?!?! Such a great summation of everyone.

Quinn murphy @gamefiend.bsky.social · 9h

Frieren is SO fucking good

Hot Take :

Two of the most important pieces of media that people need to know about the 20’s

Will be

The Watchmen Series and Peacemaker

And their most important moments both hinge on the fate of Black women in water

Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.

And where joy can’t be found, we create it.

That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

Lol. To be honest, I completely conflate these two in my mind.

Quinn murphy @gamefiend.bsky.social · 6d

(Also, this is about as public as I get about helping. I don't care or need to take credit, I just want to help folks express their creativity and share it!

Occasionally though, you have to let people know so they know.
Now you know.)

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

Whatever you think about Coates (I am a fan), he conducts himself with rigor and discipline. He asks hard questions of himself and of the world.

Klein was right about something once and just spouts nonsense into the nearest mic.

Quinn murphy @gamefiend.bsky.social · 7d

Something that makes me deeply irritated is that Coates and the very unserious Klein are considered as 'equals' to have a 'debate'. I couldn't get through a minute of their chat without shutting it off.

I don't think the people expressing surprise about things the Trump administration is doing understand how absolutely fucking crazymaking each of your posts is for Black and Indigenous folks who called *all of this* and sat through people talking about "respecting norms" for years

Folks, having a solid crew of comrades you can rely on in real life or virtually is always essential and in the coming years we are all going to need to lean on each other.
